I love this place. The service is really friendly. I just got a step-up flute and it's really nice. They also let you test our the instruments before you choose which one you want. I recommend using Herter Music Center for your child's instrument or one for yourself if that's what you prefer.

I had an old acoustic guitar from early 70's that needed some work. I found Matt in the repair department to be just the guy with the luthier skills I needed. He's really good at what he does and real friendly too. I was very satisfied with his work.

They moved a piano for me from Saginaw to the Birch run area. They did a fantastic job.

Most of the stuff you're going to find here is most likely not going to be the stuff you were looking for however they do offer a special ordering service. Unless you are a piano or horn player I would say guitar Center would be a better bet for those who are not either of those things

This place feels like home. Staff could not be more friendly, passionate, and supportive. My Sax lessons instructor from 2009 was still there when I came back all these years later to have a new horn serviced. We are SO lucky to have Herters here in Bay City.

Matt in Strings section located downstairs is a very nice man. He can flawlessly "set-up" your guitar back to spec. Very pleased, cheaper than Guitar Center.

I am just starting to learn to play guitar and my teacher, Mary is fantastic. She is kind, and patient. We've only had 2 "sessions" but I can already tell i would like to learn with her for the long run. I bought 2 guitars and my dad suggested that I get them "setup". I took the first guitar down to Matt and he did a fabulous job. He worked with me in every detail.

I saw that there was a way to change my tuning pegs to black and he didn't hesitate to do them. Not only that he suggested that there was an option to change out the chrome bridge to black ones. He did a wonderful job and I am more than happy to have him setup my other guitar.
